Lake Chelan Kokanee Get Together May 3-4, 2014

[Mharri333]

Hey Mike,

If there is still room I would like to attend? If so, I will come up with my new boat to test out and bring my fishing partner. We will be staying in Chelan but will certainly be up for the potluck and telling nothing but the truth about our fishing escapades. (Mostly) We plan to arrive a day early just to get the kinks out and ensure we have primer for the story group.

Last year we had a blast fishing kokes on Chelan. Looking forward to it again this year"

Cool! You're on the list.

People, feel free to start signing up for potluck items to bring. Main course is covered as is plates, glasses, cutlery...

Darn, sorry to hear that Toni.

Mike Sorry if I missed where the info was but is there a list of potluck items or just let you know what we intend to bring?

No problem. We have a couple threads going so it can be confusing. The RSVP thread, first post, is where I will list what people are bringing. We have the main course, water, plates, glasses, napkins, and cutlery covered.

What we need are: side dishes - salads, pastas, chips, pop, deserts, fruits, and anything else you can think of.

Here is the RSVP list. If you post on the end of the thread I will add it to the first RSVP post:

I drove up to lake Chelan on Saturday, and saw 8-10 boats working in a couple of different spots, but in groups. I am wondering if they were targeting Kokanee or lake trout. was anyone here one of those guys? how was the fishing?

Well Daryl posted a report. 2 17" fish and a bunch of 12" footballs. Hopefully those little squirts put on the feed bags or their big siblings show up!

As if waiting till monday wasnt hard enough!

[Mike@Bills]

I will be there with 3 others! Fished Chelan 3 times last year and it is a blast!

[Mike Carey]

We've added another Sponsor. Wannafishalure will be donating kokanee lures for our free raffle. I'll be posting pics of some of the free gifts we have lined up in the weeks ahead.

Don't forget to RSVP on the RSVP list and include what food item you'll bring. Details on the RSVP link:

Chelan report posted :D

I was in Chelan last night for dinner and stopped by the city launch up by the dam to check conditions.
There's plenty of water to launch and it will be even better come May. ((And it's a free launch))

List updated.

If you're joining us please post what pot luck item you'll be bringing. We're getting a long list so it's important everyone brings something. WL.com will cover the main dish and cutlery. Check the RSVP list to see what people have signed up for so far.

Also, if you have folding tables we can use em!

They are going to put out an emergency rule update for a 5 fish limit. Just because of the WA Lakes crew thats gonna be over there haha

IDK, word I got from two guides (Anton Jones and Joe Heinlen) is at this time it's still 10. WDFW are watching and if they sees big crowds of successful anglers then yes, we may see it back down to 5. But right now 10 is the word. Keep an eye on the WDFW site and if we hear something different we'll post it up.

Hey Mike,
Please add two to the list. I'm planning on making it along with my son. I'll bring some kind of pasta or pasta salad.
